Bulova Precisionist Champlain 1/1000 Chronograph Review
Bulova isn't a brand that needs much introduction. One of the original American watchmakers, their history and significance is well known having developed many innovations in its 100+ year life. Now owned by Citizen, the brand still continues to develop interesting and unique lines of watches. One such line that was first introduced in 2010, but seems to go a bit under the radar, is the Precisionist line.Featuring a very unique movement, the Precisionists are unlike any other quartz watches you've ever seen. Incredibly accurate and with a smooth sweeping seconds, you'll double take the first time you see them in action. While a smooth sweeping seconds quartz might be enough to set these apart already, Bulova went and created a chronograph version with precision up to a thousandth of a second. Needless to say, we had to get our hands on one to see what they were all about and Bulova was kind enough to lend us a Precisionist Champlain Chronograph for this review. Coming in at $799, it's

Re-kindled mechanical watch love
Not long ago I had a revalation that I only liked digital. After doing some selling I only have one watch right now, my vintage Swiss Made Helbros Alarm. I am awaiting an incoming Zodiac Automatic from falcon4311, but in the meantime I decided to wear the vintage.I bought this watch in January for $275 and sent it for overhaul to a Watchmaker who specialized in vintage swiss. It ran me $320, but the watch required balance wheel be repaired. Its nothing special, relatively small at 35mm wide, but does have incabloc is anti-magnetic and was waterfroof at the time. The watch keeps such perfect time I can't believe it. But the reason I have fallen in love again is the special sound the movement makes. I had forgotten, but have been holding her to my ear again before going to bed and I remember! The balance wheels hairspring makes a very pronounced springa-springa sound that is just sweet. Listening closer I can hear the escapement ticka`ticka too. Its the sweetest thing and I am in love a

Patek 5196 has all the DNA of the original 96
I acquired the 5196R by chance in some ways 2 weeks ago, at the same time as my 5164R.I have seen numerous posts on the 5196 vs Lange 1815, Saxonia, VC Patrimony, I do not intend to repeat those forum topics already addressed but I would just like to simply add that this piece really has a vintage aspect to it. The others have a much more modern feel to them (even the 5296 etc are very modern in their presentation).If you prefer a vintage looking piece but a current line up, you may want to consider the 5196. The curved, silver-brushed linen dial, the golden minute dot indexes, the baton hour indexes, the dauphine hands really stand out in natural daylight and is absolutely a direct descend of the 96 in its DNA. You have to see it in person to appreciate these details. And it is so comfortable to wear and surprisingly easy to match for a daily watch. I am enjoying every moment of it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Panerai in London
Is there a Panerai Boutique or anyone knows a good dealer in London?

EXPII or DJII (white)
I¡¯m looking to buy a one and only Rolex. I¡¯m not the type to switch out watches or have a rotation. I wear one watch and wear it 24/7. It never comes off no matter the activity. Like the title says im looking at the Polar 216570 or the white dial 116300. Date is the most important which they both have, GMT function is nice but not a deal breaker. I have a 7¡± wrist. In the past I have had a black expii, GMTii, and currently a SD4k. But none of them have been THE watch for me and have all ended up being flipped. The SD4k will also be flipped for this next watch that I hope to keep ¡°forever¡±. Any insight would be great. Thanks
